Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 TRAFFICKING
IN PERSONS – The
country was primarily a country of origin and transit for trafficked women,
men, and children for sexual exploitation and forced labor. Russian, Central
Asian, and local women and girls were trafficked from or through the country
to the Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 1997 [23] While welcoming the fact that
the State party has recently released a study on children working and/or
living on the street, the recent increase in the number of such children is a
matter of concern. The Committee also expresses its serious concern at the
increase in the number of child prostitutes, and that the State party does
not have a clear strategy to combat the abuse and sexual exploitation of
children. ECPAT: Fifth Report on implementation of the Agenda for

Protection Project - Azerbaijan FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE
TRAFFICKING INFRASTRUCTURE - Poor social and economic conditions for women and children make
them vulnerable to trafficking. Women’s lower social status and lack of
decently paid work opportunities compel them to seek employment outside of
Azerbaijan. Furthermore, with the
collapse of the Soviet Union, the social welfare system ceased to function
effectively in Azerbaijan, thereby forcing many children onto the streets,
where they are vulnerable to exploitation. - htsccp All material used herein
